Patent number: 12088674Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for data processing. The method for data processing includes: generating, based on a category of a target data content segment, a target tag for the target data content segment; acquiring a reference tag set, a reference tag in the reference tag set being generated based on a category of a historical data content segment; and determining redundancy of the target data content segment based on comparison between the target tag and the reference tag set. In this way, the distribution of a large amount of redundant data from an edge server to a terminal device can be avoided, thereby saving bandwidth, improving delay, and further providing a better user experience for AR/VR content experience.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Zhen Jia, Anzhou Hou, Danqing Sha, Bin He
